BUI & DUI Charges and Offenses in Florida
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Boating Under the Influence (BUI) offenses in the Tampa-Sarasota area are taken very seriously by law enforcement and county prosecutors. Most DUI charges are misdemeanors, but the fines and punishments for operating a vessel or motor vehicle in Florida are severe and include stiff monetary fines and jail time. Florida’s DUI laws, offenses, and punishments are published in Florida Statutes §316.193. Depending on the facts of the DUI case, and field sobriety evidence, if found guilty, the defendant could receive several additional penalties, such as the mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device on the defendant’s car, impoundment of the subject vehicle, community service, license suspensions, probation, and attendance at a driver’s education course.
